we went to early church this morning so i could go to church with my family, but still work to get my hours in for my other job(s). we were the only family there that had a child, so she was the only one up front for the children's message. it was hilarious. she was really hesitant to walk to the front of the church, and to be in front of all those people. the pastor talked about being afraid, and how Jesus is there to make us feel safe. she asked our munch if she was scared of anything. she piped up, "yes, i is scared of monsters! they is really, really bad. i don't like them at all." the pastor then asked if there was anything we did before bed to make her feel safe. it took a little prodding from mommy, but she said, "we pray before i take my nap (that's what she calls it b/c a nap is shorter than going to bed for the night in her mind). we ask Jesus to keep me safe. annnnnd we.do.my.ANIMALS! it is so fun!" the congregation thought that was a little funny. then she didn't want to be quiet. haha. i love my kid!*when she says "doing her animals", she means that we look at the cross stitch my MIL made for her when she was born. it has different animals sitting on a shelf (ducky, bunny, elephant, giraffe, and bear). we point to each animal while she names it, and it also has her name so she spells that, too. it's been a routine ever since she was little.

About Me

My Christianity is what defines me the most. While I am not always the Christian I desire to be, God is always number one in my life. I have an amazing husband, and beautiful daughter. My family rocks. I <3 my dog. Here are some of the things that make my heart happy ~ hearing my daughter giggle, Christmas, Thanksgiving, giving presents, autumn, the smell of cinnamon, burning candles, warm sugar cookies, a brand new box of crayons, the smell of a brand new book, thunderstorms, lightning bugs twinkling in the summer, full moons, my wonderful family, snowfalls, warm mittens, funky socks, good coffee (hot and cold... especially a Caribou Coffee HoHo Mint Mocha w/ extra peppermint),flowers, sitting in a cozy chair and being completely absorbed in a good book, perfume, donna sharp purses, towels out of the dryer, summer skies full of stars, being wrapped in my husband's massive arms, quilts, lights on the Christmas tree sparkling through spun glass ornaments, having my fuzzy pomeranian give me kisses with his warm tongue, quilts, knowing that i have an eternity with my family in heaven, being forgiven, and being saved... I have a fun, bubbly personality. Enjoy.
